Fly-in, private fishing trips
The world can easily become a stressful place after a while, especially when it seems there's no secluded place available to find solace.
If you live in a big city, it's hard to find a location where you're away from industries, crowds, or general stress. As a fix, you probably never considered a fly-in fishing vacation option as one of the few places left on earth for the ultimate in relaxation and peace.
Here at Oak Lake Lodge, we cater to those who've been battered by the stresses of the world and can't find peace anywhere else.
If you're one of those people, perhaps you've encountered just as much stress visiting supposed pristine tourist spots elsewhere. Places like public beaches and even pristine lakes are frequently marred by crowds during certain times of the year.
In the above regard, you've perhaps had to vacation at home because you've had too many experiences of vacations being equally stressful as life.
We'll change your mind about that here at Oak Lake Lodge. Let us show you some examples of how much serenity you'll experience staying in our lodge.
Finding Peace on a Serene Lake
While we usually book up to 32 people, it's certainly possible you'll have the entire lodge for just you and your family.
Even with other people around you, it's not annoyingly crowded as you've experienced elsewhere. Most of those people will be out either in a boat fishing during the day or in the wilderness hiking and hunting.
In the meantime, this provides plenty of space for your own private meditation. We all need time to get away and ponder our thoughts. We'll make it possible a boat just for you or your family is available so you can gain this sense of peace.
Fishing is a central focus here, though you certainly don't have to participate. Just enjoying beautiful Oak Lake and its serenity will put you into a different frame of mind.
Regardless, we also guarantee the same if you decide to fish either on your own or with a fishing guide.
We'll show evidence of how the thrill of fishing is enough to get your mind off the sometimes insurmountable pressures you've had in life.
Being Out in the Wilderness
In the fall, we allow black bear and moose hunting out in the wilderness near our lodge.
You have miles of natural environment untouched by many humans, and certainly not by industry. It may seem almost otherworldly to you after dealing with so many other tourist traps around the world.
Again, these natural grounds are free for you to roam in. But you still have plenty of options in finding peaceful surroundings if you're simply not into hunting or fishing.
Finding Solace in Your Cottage
You're going to find our cottages very inviting and perfect places to meditate during the day.
No matter if you share a cottage with a group for sleeping at night, it's more than possible you'll have a cottage to yourself. With screened porches overlooking the lake, you'll find an excellent place to tune out in a comfortable porch chair.
Inside the living room, it's the same with panoramic lake views out the window.
When it's cold outside, you can curl up in one of our soft chairs or couches and still meditate on the nature around you.
As you do, we'll take care of you with four-star service, including routine maid service, and coffee delivered to your door every morning.
Along with hearty meals around the clock, you have everything you need to gain some peace in your life.
Don't let your shattered nerves get the best of you.
We're one of the rare vacation spots on earth where you'll find real solace, and we invite you to contact us here at Oak Lake Lodge now to learn more.
Whether by yourself or with your family, you probably won't find a more attractive vacation without spending considerable more money.

The evenings are capped off with a hardy home style meal, like prime rib or grilled chicken. Our dinner meals are complete with fabulous dessert as well. We provide our guests with fishing boats outfitted with new motors each season, so you can spend your time chasing the fish. And what fish!

Our tuck shop can help you out with fresh bait, so you’ll be able to tempt the fish with whatever bait they are currently hitting on. Our fishing guides can show you more than the best fishing spots; they are well versed in the history of the area, and they can share numerous stories sure to entertain your group while you pull in the fish. They know where the eagles’ nest and they can point out our amazing trumpeter swans. Your days on the lake are sure to provide you with incredible sport fishing with some local history and wildlife viewing thrown in for good measure! After an exciting day of fishing, you’ll return home to a clean, freshly-turned room each evening.

Consider giving the gift of a unique vacation to your loved ones. You will not regret it!
The idea of a fly in fishing vacation has perhaps never crossed your mind when wanting to truly get away from your life or work environment. It's not always easy to find vacation spots in North America taking you away to a place making you forget about your problems or where you're completely surrounded by nature. Even in the natural locations, tourists might be considerable, hence giving you more stress in the long run dealing with crowds. You can say the same about fishing spots if you deem fishing as the greatest and most peaceful pastime. Unfortunately, far too many unique fishing getaways aren't exclusive and end up being overly crowded. Perhaps you've been dreaming of a place where you can fish and still relax without excessive crowds and where others take care of things for you. Fly-in fishing is your answer, and you don't even need to love fishing to enjoy the atmosphere for the most relaxing vacation you'll find anywhere. Located a float plane ride away from Vermilion Bay, Ontario, Canada, our fly-in fishing excursion here at Oak Lake Lodge is one you'll remember forever and want to do again. What things will you find that help reduce stress and provide amazing relaxation without breaking the bank? We want you to keep us in mind for all your future vacations when you absolutely need to remove stress from your life.
The perfect fly in fishing vacation is about one thing, spending as much time as possible fishing. Any time that you spend traveling from your accommodations to the water, planning and cooking meals, and searching for ideal fishing locations is just wasting your time. That is valuable time, it's time you could be spending out on the water fishing. Life is short, and you only get so much time every year that you can devote solely to relaxing with friends or alone fishing. So, you need to make sure that the time you get to spend on fly-in fishing trips is well spent. Don't bother with budget vacation options that will lead to you spending your whole trip in a car or a grocery store. Instead, spend your time and your money well by visiting the number 1 rated fly-in fishing resort in Ontario, Canada, Oak Lake Lodge Oak Lake Lodge has a private lake that only lodge guests can access.
Now that summer is about here, what have you planned in the way of a summer vacation? The concept of a fly-in fishing vacation probably never crossed your mind when all of the usual places seem to always go at the top of the list. This includes camping, spending time on a beach, or perhaps even going overseas to supposedly peaceful and quiet places. Yes, we know all of the above don't always turn out perfect. You perhaps still have nightmares about last summer's vacation when everything became more chaotic than you planned. While you probably tried to wipe out those realities to maintain a sense that you had a relaxing vacation, tourism is a big problem in most vacation spots. We're a whole other world away from any tourist chaos here at Oak Lake Lodge. Located within Ontario, Canada's remote wilderness, we're one of the supreme vacation destinations in the world when it comes to finding nature non-disturbed by humans. Considering we only let in about 32 people at a time in the area, you never have to experience excessive crowds. Ultimately, we're your better source for a truly peaceful summer vacation. In what ways are we better, though, than all of your standard vacation destinations? Let's take a look at why you should choose us over any other summer vacation plan you typically place first.
Now that your kids are well into summer vacation, do you know how they'll occupy their time until school starts again? A fly-in fishing vacation is exactly what you all need for relaxation after perhaps dealing with chaos on your other trips. Even your kids might feel stressed from dealing with crowds in all the popular tourist spots you've already visited. At this point, you're probably looking for peace yourself due to your kids being bored and restless for a more meaningful vacation. Here at Oak Lake Lodge, we want to create a vacation experience for you and your kids that's relaxing and exhilarating at the same time. It's more than possible when you stay with us and take in the remote surroundings. Your kids have most likely never been to a place where you could call the natural surroundings pristine. They perhaps think such a place only exists in the imagination when tourism and industry permeate every corner of the continent. They're probably so used to crowds in locations where you vacation that they know no other reality. We can't wait until you bring your kids to our lodge where they'll see beautiful things they've never seen before. Let us show you how much your kids will love a vacation here where fishing on Oak Lake isn't the only central activity.

Now that summer is in its final stretch and summer vacations end, have you thought about one more summer escape before going back to work? Because your kids will also likely be back in school soon, the chance for another family vacation possibly can't happen for months. You also perhaps have a job that won't let you get away that easily. A fly-in fishing vacation is one of the best ways to get your mind rested before taking on the long haul of your career through the fall and winter months. Here at Oak Lake Lodge , we want to make vacation experiences meaningful so you can look back and realize you had a truly relaxing vacation rather than one filled with unnecessary stress. The good news is that we're also open in the fall and winter if you can find a window of opportunity to get away to escape your busy life. Even if you can't, we want you to see why vacationing with us as your summer vacation destination is so important. If you're one who can't really find relaxation in any other tourist spot, we'll show you how we make everyone feel like they're in a different world.
Far too many vacation resorts exist around the world, some of which you've probably visited more than once in your life. While you've maybe enjoyed their luxury amenities, you may have put up with annoying crowds surrounding the resort's natural landscapes. You've also had to endure one thing that sometimes lacks in even top-tier places: Good customer service. If places like Disney's theme parks have mastered good service for 60 years, you can't always find it in other vacation spots where you'd think it exists. The reason all comes down to lax training and either being unwilling to train people in good customer service, or just not having enough time. In corporate vacation environments, it's certainly that way because of the distance between the corporate heads and employees. A family-run vacation spot gives you a better chance of experiencing more focused service so you feel like you're one of the family. That's the type of feel we bring here at Oak Lake Lodge for our fly-in fishing vacations. Those of you who've never visited us may think that such a remote area means setting you up with austere amenities and letting you fend for yourself. The above doesn't come anywhere close to describing us, which makes us so popular as such a rare vacation find. Despite letting you commune with unspoiled nature (with amazing fishing and hunting opportunities), you also have a dedicated group of people who want to give you the best vacation anywhere. So how do we define good customer service at our vacation lodge? We look at what we offer as a family-like retreat where you become one of the family.
Now that we're well into autumn, it's a perfect time to get away on a vacation if you had to work throughout summer. Fall is a great time because tourism quiets down considerably, even if some vacation escapes aren't always perfect in what they provide. While real fall weather is awesome to experience, it doesn't always equal perfect weather in every vacation location. It could also mean experiences you'd rather forget in more remote places. A fly-in fishing vacation here at Oak Lake Lodge eliminates many of those concerns, and we want to show you the differences between our lodge and other fall getaways. The differences are considerable in many cases, including better weather so you can actually experience the beauty of the autumnal equinox. In other cases, it comes down to mere service and amenities. You'll discover that if you go to other remote places, you're sometimes responsible for many things yourself rather than having four-star treatment you'd get in a hotel. Our lodge blurs those lines and gives you service that you'd find in a major resort, yet in a remote location miles away from civilization. If you still have plans for another fall vacation getaway, look at the burdens you may endure and how our lodge gives you an autumn escape of a lifetime.
You might as well admit it: you're not really looking forward to this particular trip.
When you vacation, finding access to food is always an issue, especially when you're traveling with a big family. Having many people along on your trip also means dealing with some picky eaters. When you ultimately can't find the food you want while traveling, it only makes your vacation more of a frustration than a relaxing experience. This is all the more reason why you should try our fly-in fishing vacation package here at Oak Lake Lodge. Meals are never a problem at our lodge because we prepare in advance to make your experience the best it can possibly be. You'll also appreciate our attention to something other vacation spots don't always do: Making sure you never go hungry while still making the food healthy. If the word "healthy" sounds like it shouldn't go on vacation, having a hearty meal already means eating well. You have to keep your energy level up to fully enjoy the pristine nature around you here at Oak Lake Lodge. While providing relaxation for you is our goal, you'll have the privacy of Oak Lake where all-day fishing excursions are available at your leisure. The same goes for archery hunting out in the wilderness that's untouched by excessive amounts of tourists or industries. Despite you vacationing in one of the most undisturbed natural locations on earth, being out in the great outdoors always works up an appetite. It's why we place special emphasis on creating meals we know you're going to love. This includes some of the amazing and large fish you'll catch in Oak Lake that you can enjoy as part of a shore lunch. Take a look at what kind of meals you'll experience for every meal of the day, including the ability to snack when you want to.
When you hear the term "fly-in fishing", no doubt you immediately picture thoughts of a hideaway vacation. While accurate, you've perhaps created a new definition of what a hideaway vacation is. You've possibly become overly cynical about the term because so many hideaway vacations your family visited in the past didn't live up to expectations. This was even more disappointing considering you paid a significant amount to commune with pristine nature and a promise of few tourists. In reality, there aren't any truly pristine tourist areas left in the world other than deserted islands and uninhabited jungles. Only a few places still exist on earth where you'll get some exceptions. We're fortunate to tell you that we provide exceptions here at Oak Lake Lodge thanks to long-standing stringent plans on limiting tourists. Here in Ontario, Canada, we still have some pristine natural environments left not invaded by excess tourism or industry. The land around our lodge received government approval to stay as pristine as you can get while still allowing limited visitors at a time. We only allow 32 people in every few weeks, so you're never experiencing excess tourists. You'll also find many other differences compared to other so-called hideaway vacations. Maybe you know about other secret locations where you can essentially get lost, at least in the off-season. Even if you can sometimes successfully escape crowds in those places, they don't offer the amenities we do. Let's take a look at some of those differences and why we frequently get singled out as one of the best vacation spots within Canada and the United States. We'll help you redefine what a hideaway vacation really is.
There isn't any question that food is a top concern when traveling on vacation. You've probably had more headaches over what to eat than anything else when visiting hideaway resorts, hotels, or even bed & breakfasts. What makes this all the more problematic is the kind of food you'll find in the places where you stay. If you're staying overseas, it sometimes means consuming exotic items you've never had before, which only brings elements of risk. While the above is exciting for some people, it can bring some dangers to your health. The last thing you want is food that could potentially make you sick in a foreign location where medical facilities aren't the greatest. Here at Oak Lake Lodge, we decided that food needed a strong focus on our vacation packages. We knew that when people travel to a vacation destination, they wanted food that's substantive, yet also not overly offbeat to a point where it could cause illness. Also, based on the response of our customers, we understood that most people enjoy having traditional food. Yes, traditional food gives you a sense of home, despite being served here in a remote location where pristine nature surrounds you. Let us show you the kind of traditional food you'll find for your fly-in fishing vacation. We'll show you why it's safer and even healthier than many other foods found in other tourist destinations.
When you decide to experience our fly-in fishing vacation package here at Oak Lake Lodge, you'll immediately notice the sense of peace and quiet you'll have in comparison to other vacations. We'll remind you that when you arrive here, you're a long way from any industry. This means miles and miles of natural surroundings and not the loud bustle of traffic. With our limitations of 32 people per visit, you also eliminate concern about excessive tourists. You won't find many vacation spots on earth that don't have an excess of tourists clogging streets, or even on lakes. This sense of peace might sound like we're too far away from providing outstanding amenities. Keep in mind we fly in and provide more amenities and supplies than most lodges do that exist away from civilization.
Experiencing autumn during your fly in fishing vacation here at Oak Lake Lodge is like no other nature experience available in the civilized world. Even if you already live near natural areas and love doing activities in the outdoors during the fall or winter, you probably have to experience an excessive amount of people in those places. Plus if it's a vacation spot, you probably work up a considerable appetite after excessive physical exercise. The problem with the two situations above is that being in nature with too many people already ruins any claims of the surroundings being unspoiled. At a vacation resort, it also means crowded restaurants, leaving you having to wait for food when you want food immediately. You won't find either of the above unfortunate scenarios here at Oak Lake Lodge. The nature here is truly pristine because there isn't any industry around for miles. We also have limitations on how many people we let in at a time, so getting food when you want it isn't a problem. Moreover, you'll have more food here than you can probably digest. Our meals are extremely hearty and generous in their servings. The question is how much of an appetite can you generate while visiting us? When you have cooler weather, invigorating fishing, and hunting all together, you can probably get as hungry as the black bears and moose are when they forage for food this fall.
You've probably heard of that term "vacation from the vacation" more than once and maybe only thought of it as facetious.
We are a fly-in fishing lodge located in the Canadian wilderness where you experience the best walleye fishing in Canada. We include your float plane flight from Vermilion Bay, Ontario, to our lodge as part of your fishing package.
